Great location! Petaling Street is just a short walk from the hotel, and it’s super easy to get anywhere since it’s right in the city center. The staff are really friendly — they patiently answer all your questions and even recommend great nearby attractions and food spots. The bunker room is a bit small but tidy and clean, and the bathroom cleanliness is totally acceptable. But the best part? The lobby! It’s cozy, comfortable, and feels just like home — definitely the most unforgettable spot. 💛 Lastly, big thanks to Joe and Jason — the friendly and funny front desk duo!

Amazing hosts, all Kenyan sisters. The guests actually seemed handpicked. After seeing so many old, sketchy men hanging around the hostels and trying to make you uncomfortable at every chance, this place felt like a breath of fresh air. I failed at finding a hostel with no sketchy men here, probably you will too.

This place was such a great find – super budget-friendly, but still really clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were spotless and the dorm beds were surprisingly cozy. Plus, the hostel is right in the city center, so it was easy to walk to the major spots or hop on public transport. Definitely good value.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
